The Power of Money

The Power of Money

• It outlives all of us (and was here before us)

• Its circle of influence is greater than ours

• Money is mysterious (even Alan Greenspan gets confused)

• It lives among the things we are tempted to worship

• It is an instrument we wield (sword or scalpel?)

• Everything can be economized (too many choices)

• Every $$ intervention has an impact

PRINCIPLES TO CONSIDER

1. Contented people know the difference between need and desire
2. "We are spirits in a material world" (Sting or Apostle Paul?)
3. Our use of money tells others about our worldview (reveals the heart and soul)
